At BKL, we know that life is built on moments: decisions, opportunities, changes that shape what comes next. The Moment brings you our latest insights and updates to help you make the most of them.
This edition has insights on what to expect from this month’s Autumn Budget, the new employee benefits reporting rules taking effect next April, and the impact that a recent Supreme Court decision has on LLP agreements.
You can also find out what triggers an HMRC enquiry, how the FCA’s new safeguarding regime affects payments firms, and how we guided a family business through its acquisition of two key suppliers at the same time.
We also have opportunities for you to learn more at our in-person and online events this month, which cover the Autumn Budget, family investment companies and FRS 102 accounting changes.
